Ingredients

1 cup pear juice (should be opaque and pulpy, not clear)

1/2 cup soy sauce 

1/4 cup honey 

1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger 

1 teaspoon sesame oil 

4 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp 

Freshly ground black pepper 

Directions

  1. Combine the pear juice, soy sauce, honey, ginger, sesame oil and garlic in a small pot over medium heat. And a few grinds more than normal of black pepper. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and allow to cool completely. Use as desired.

Cook’s Note

Use as a quick marinade with beef, chicken or pork for up to 2 hours at room temperature. For extra flavor, reserve 1/4 cup before using as a marinade to baste with while grilling. Reduce this marinade over medium heat and toss with veggies or edamame, or use as a dipping sauce for potstickers and gyoza.

Just made up this marinade with some home canned pear sauce (like applesauce but much juicier) from a dear friend. It smells AMAZING! I purchased some shoulder cut steaks, separated into freezer bags and topped with this marinade (made a double batch) to freeze. Just from the taste and smell of the marinade I know we are going to really enjoy the grilled steaks. Thank you!
